engine bogging down

[Huw Powell]

> I seem to be losing rpms at about 3500 to 4000 at around 3500rpm the whole car jumps a little bit then it hits 4000 and almost instantly drops back down to about 3500 rpms, in 2 and 3rd and i think 4th i didnt feel it in 1st but i usually shift before 3500 when im in first... if anyone has any idea why it would do that?

Well, the car could be in desperate need of a tune up, or your cat might
be breaking up and blocking the exhaust gas path.

I'd start with cap/rotor/plugs, since new ones are always nice and not
too darn expensive.

While you're in there, check and clean all of your underhood electrical
connections...
